Ethiopia is endowed with huge traditional sheep populations spread across diverse ecology and production systems. We investigate genome-wide genetic diversity and population structure of eight Ethiopian Sheep populations genotyped with Illumina Ovine 50K SNP BeadChip assay. Mean genetic diversity...
Muturu cattle, mostly found nowadays in Nigeria, have been classified as an endangered cattle population due to the rapid decline in their population size. They are among the shorthorn West African B. taurus trypanotolerance cattle. Here, we report candidate signature of positive selection obtain...
Indigenous goat breeds kept by majority of smallholder rural farmers in Eastern Africa are adapted to the local environment. These goats are critical for nutrition and income of their keepers. Milk production per doe is extremely variable. The variation in milk yield in goats is due to varied man...
Gastrointestinal (GI) parasitic infection is the main health constraint for small ruminant production, causing loss of weight and/or death. Red Maasai sheep have adapted to a tropical environment where extreme parasite exposure is a constant, especially with highly pathogenic Haemonchus contortus...
A survey of pastoralist and agropastoralist households in south-east Kenya was conducted to determine their production objectives and management strategies in order to optimize and extend a breeding programme for indigenous small East African Shorthorn Zebu cattle. The reasons for keeping cattle ...
Genetic diversity studies that utilize phenotypic and genetic information are informative when formulating breeding and conservation plans. The present study utilizes sequences of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) D-loop region of 232 village chickens from Southern and Northern Nigeria to determine the o...
